Xena, after finding healing in Hercules' love, must end two wars: one between two states, and another within herself. Additionally, her other friends rally around her, including Gabrielle, Iolaus, Auto, Joxer, Salmoneous etc, all supporting her when she is both emotionally and physically hurt. While Hercules works to recapture her heart, Ares works to wipe her off the face of the earth.
